The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! - Chapter 875
Chapter 875: Chapter 873: Trapping the Grand Empress Dowager
But seeing Mu Fei pinching the bridge of his nose, she didn’t dare to speak up.
However, those two people in the firewood room…
Ah Jing could tell that they were not people from the black market, but ordinary commoners. The woman might have been a bit sharp-tongued, but she didn’t deserve to be killed!
After all, before their master killed someone, he would first torture them to the brink of death.
She mustered her courage to relay the order, merely stating that the master wanted to torture them but did not mention letting them die.
This could, for the time being, spare their lives.
Even if they were turned into human pigs and kept alive, at least… they could still be alive.
Shen Yu was recovering well in the palace, and after three days, she was waiting for Mu Fei to come and remove her stitches so she could finally see her face. However, a major incident had occurred at Funing Palace, throwing her into panic, and she had no choice but to seek Mu Fei’s early entrance into the palace.
Mu Fei, seeing her head wrapped like a mummy, responded coldly, “The time isn’t up, and your hurry is useless.”
Shen Yu struggled to get out of bed, grasping her head, eyes filled with urgency, “Do you think I want this? Ever since you left that day, cousin has been kneeling in Funing Palace, begging the imperial grandmother to see the truth. The imperial grandmother has been angered to illness several times.”
Mu Fei’s lips curled in a mocking sneer, “What does it have to do with you? For every day you are sick and unseen, the Empress Dowager won’t let Su Yingxue off the hook. The more Qin Muyan kneels and begs, the more the Empress Dowager despises Su Yingxue. This is in your favor, so what’s there for you to be anxious about?”
“Do you think I want this? I heard from the palace maids that my cousin has stubbornly knelt for two days and nights, begging the imperial grandmother to meet Su Yingxue! He’s even threatened to resign his title of Your Highness to coerce her. The imperial grandmother has compromised and agreed to see Su Yingxue herself!”
Shen Yu was so upset that her head spun, nearly unable to hold up her head as large as a bucket.
Mu Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a ruthless glint spilled out, “The Empress Dowager must not be allowed to see Su Yingxue at any cost.”
Su Yingxue’s medical skills made it difficult for anyone to rest easy.
Even within the imperial prison, there was no stopping her from being able to verify blood relations with the Empress Dowager.
Mu Fei made a decisive move, pulled Shen Yu in front of the mirror, and started removing her bandages.
Shen Yu was still somewhat perplexed, “Didn’t you say that the bandages couldn’t be removed before three days were up? Can you… or can’t you do it?”
“Shut up!”
A fierce coldness overflowed from Mu Fei’s eyes, terrifying Shen Yu to the core.
After removing her bandages, Mu Fei did some additional reinforcement.
Although her face was visible before three days were up, the effect of the medicine wouldn’t be very long-lasting.
Shen Yu’s face would collapse eventually.
But what did that have to do with him?
All he needed was to use Shen Yu’s current face to stop the Empress Dowager!
Shen Yu, looking at her reflection in the mirror, couldn’t come to her senses for a good while, “Is… is this me?”
Why couldn’t she recognize herself!
There wasn’t a trace of her original appearance to be found!
She had become a completely different woman!
And it must be said, this woman was too beautiful!
Beautiful to the extent that even she couldn’t help feeling inferior.
Mu Fei yanked her up, “Stop the nonsense and quickly go stop the Empress Dowager. Don’t allow her to see Su Yingxue. Even if Qin Muyan persists alone, you must accompany her and make her despise Su Yingxue even more, or else… I will kill you!”
The knife in Mu Fei’s hand was pressed against Shen Yu’s neck, and she could feel that it was this very scalpel that had sliced open the skin on her face and remodeled her features. Now, she was scared for her life!
She tensed all over, “Understood… understood.”
